BIOGRAPHY AND RESEARCH INTERESTS

Engineer in research and development in biotechnology, I continued my doctoral studies in the team of Dr. Taly Valerie on a theme related to the field of diagnosis for clinical oncology. My thesis topic is "Detecting Circulating DNA in healthy subjects and Patients with metastatic Cancer". During the project carried out within the laboratory, I gained expertise in the management of clinical studies, development of pre-analytical procedures dedicated to the analysis of the DNA circulating in blood samples, and also on circulating DNA analysis techniques, in particular on digital PCR technology.

Very attentive to the progress of the medical biology, my scientific interest ‘centers are oriented towards translational medicine. I am very interested in the development of new tools and biomarkers for diagnosis as well as the release of new therapeutic molecules dedicated to oncology
